Featured Content Slider - placing 'next' and 'previous' links elsewhere on the page

3) Describe problem: I'm looking to tweak the DD script so the 'next' and previous' links are images placed elsewhere on the page. I have hidden the text labels for "next" and "previous" by following the DD instructions which works as expected. However, I want to call the next and previous slide by clicking on two images either side of the slilder. Below is a screen grab of my intended outcome. If you can assist I would be very grateful. Many thanks.

Instead of hiding the pagination DIV altogether, you can instead just define the "next" and "prev" links, then set them to CSS position:absolute. With a little JavaScript, alter their position so they show up next to the content box. Here's a full example:

The part in red are significant- note how I've given the two pagination links a unique ID, and accessed them inside the script to follow. Inside that script, "slider2" also needs to be changed to reflect the ID of your FCS. The code:

Code:

fcnext.style.left=offx+400+"px"
fcnext.style.top=offy+100+"px"

controls where the pagination links should be positioned relative to the top left corner of the FCS.

thanks for the quick reply. This seems to do the trick, although now I'm missing the pagination in the bottom right of the FCS. My request was to leave the pagination; 1, 2, 3, etc, and simply "move" the PREVIOUS and NEXT links elsewhere on the page. This you have done (many thanks!) but in the process you have removed the page numbers which I want to retain.
